uin	50702
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2016 answer text <p>The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency deals with the front line enforcement of high polluting vehicles. This is primarily dealt with at the annual roadworthiness test, which DVSA administers, where exhaust emissions are checked once a vehicle becomes subject to testing due to its age. If the vehicle fails this test, the vehicle cannot be used on roads until the excess pollution is remedied. DVSA enforce emission outputs from the commercial vehicle fleet. When vehicles are seen to emit visual smoke, enforcement action is taken. The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency also operates a Smoky Vehicle hot-line where anyone can report a smoky vehicle online and DVSA will then make follow up enquires about the vehicle.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 01/11/2016 11:40:22 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

tabling member printed	The Countess of Mar
uin	HL1139
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2016 answer text <p>Members of the public can report excessively smoky lorries and buses to the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency through their website (https://www.gov.uk/report-smoky-vehicle). There is no similar reporting system for cars or other vehicles. However all vehicles must meet strict standards before they enter service, as well as standards which must be maintained at all times while a vehicle is in service. It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that the vehicle meets the necessary limit requirements at all times.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 13/07/2016 14:45:17 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/05/2016 answer text <p>As part of the exhaust emissions approval process vehicle manufacturers are obliged to undertake in-use emissions testing. They are required to submit a report of their results at regular intervals or when requested to do so by the approval authority. In accordance with EU regulation 715/2007, the authority will review the information and accept or reject the report. The UK type approval authority is the Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) and they ensure manufacturers follow this process where they are the issuing approval authority.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 04/05/2016 11:11:07 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
